Ouch! Ingrown Hair

[Arwen2786]

First, I just wanted to say how very helpful this website is! As someone who is a lot of a late bloomer (28 and very happily in my fist relationship ever for 3 months now) I greatly appreciate all the information that is available here, its been a wonderful resource for me.

On to my question. I have always had problem with ingrown pubic hair. It doesn't matter what length the hair is, I always have at least one ingrown hair. I do know that I have fairly sensitive skin. I have tried warm baths to soak that irritated area, I only wear cotton underwear, I don't wear super tight pants or nonbreakable fabrics, and I only use Dove White Bar soap. It can be quite pain full and I am really at a loss for what else to do.

Hi Arwen,

Thank you for your kind words and glad that our resources have been helpful for you

Some other things you could try is regular exfoliation during showers/baths with a scrub or loofah. Are you removing hair from this area? If you are you could switch up your method and see if that makes a difference, but both shaving and waxing can cause ingrown hairs. Another option is to trim the hair low.
